God’s direction for His people in these difficult days when evil seems to be prevailing:
“Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, so that you won’t grow weary and give up.” (Hebrews 12:3)
(Gk. “endure”—“to remain in a place instead of leaving it”)
Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth
"Do I love her? Not for what she can do for me, not for what she gives me, not for how she ministers to my family, but do I love the bride for which Christ died?"
The Holy Spirit’s work within us, not our good works, are the root of our assurance.
Dustin Benge
“May I view things in the mirror of eternity, waiting for the coming of my Lord, …hastening unto the new heaven and earth…May I speak each word as if my last word, and walk each step as my final one. If my life should end today, let this be my best day.”
—The Valley of Vision
“More men fail through lack of purpose than through lack of talent.”
Billy Sunday
To paraphrase a great preacher, “I allow myself to be set on fire by the Holy Spirit then people come to watch me burn.
I long for nothing more earnestly than to serve God with all my might.
~C.H. Spurgeon~
It is when your soul has been blasted bare, when you feel raw and undone, that you can be bonded to the Savior. And then you not only meet suffering on God’s terms, but you meet joy on God’s terms. You cry out to God and He gets your heart pumping for heaven. He injects his peace, power, and perspective into your spiritual being. He imparts a new way of looking at your hardships. He puts a song in your heart.

“It is impossible for a man who is warm to understand one who is cold.”
—Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Our high and privileged calling is to do the will of God in the power of God for the glory of God.
~J. I. Packer~
The health crisis in your life does not hold the power. Jesus does. Your marriage mess is not in charge. Jesus is. The teenager whose behavior is worrying you doesn’t rule the world. Jesus does! Pray! Praying in Jesus's name has power.
"The first hour of the morning is the rudder of the day."
—Henry Ward Beecher
God promises to be our comforter and help, but we have to give Him an opportunity to do just that.
Disobeying God is the same as telling Him to hold back all of the blessings that come with obedience. That is not only stupidity, it's insanity.
~Joy Dawson~
Joel Rosenberg writes, “God has not given us Bible prophecy to scare us but to prepare us.”
Don’t coddle, pet, and pamper the sheep. Our calling is to feed, protect, and warn the sheep.
The longer you walk with the Lord, the more sensitive you become to sin in your life.
Dr. Steven Lawson
"If you live with Jesus, his life becomes your life."
Charles Spurgeon
“Let us call iniquity what is really iniquity, rather than to call it weakness, temperament, failure, hangups, or to fall back on the tired excuse, ‘It’s just the way I am.’”
Elisabeth Elliot
